Each video I post during TdF will hopefully cover a different aspect of my spinning process so it’s not just me rambling about the same thing over and over. :)
Links to fibre suppliers and dyers, etc. (none are affiliates or sponsors, I just love them). Most of my progress updates will be over Instagram so come over to join the fun!

Team Stashdashers
For the 2nd year in a row I’m on Team Stashdashers, hosted by Melly Knits on Instagram. Melly is THE BEST, she hand processes wool fleece and cards up the most amazing batts. There are 300+ of us in the team this year and our only rule is to spin from our stash! #stashdashers
About TdF
Tour de Fleece runs alongside the Tour de France, and it’s a 3 week period where us yarny spinners have fun spinning as much as we can! It’s definitely a sport but it’s all about having fun, sharing and learning.
Your work is absolutely beautiful! Great job and very inspirational ❤
Stunning. Yours look so smooth. Super inspired for August to work in my spinning more.
I was so skeptical of adding that teal in as the third skein in your last video, but it turned out so lovely! It's by far my favorite.
@@TheStaticEmbrace honestly, it ended up not being the vibe I originally set out to make (really soft neutrals) but I love it so much more this way! Can’t wait to knit it up into something fun!
They all look great, but the colours in the first one have my heart!
@@TylerLouie85 agreed! It’s so casually happy 🥰
Lovely, lovely \(^-^)/
